Re: Using a ButtonBox instead of a Notebook?

[Bachsau <web bachsau name>]

I'm sorry, but I think I don't understand what you're trying to tell me, 
as I think this is how I already do it.

I have a working Application managing a bunch of data represented by a 
list of items with several attributes. These items are displayed to the 
user by using a GtkTreeView backed by a GtkListStore, to which I append 
those items.

Now I want to expand my application to manage not just one but several 
bunches of those data, each in a different tab inside the same window.

As I understand it, the GtkTreeView widget is really just a display 
element, taking all of its data from the GtkListStore. This is why I 
thought I could just create and keep a separate GtkListStore in memory 
for every bunch of data and assign them to the one GtkTreeView widget 
whenever the user clicks a button.
